Selecting Key Factors and Countries

The first step in beginning to establish an idea for my research paper was selecting a key factor that affects food security. I began by selecting the three items of which I am the most passionate about and interested in. Those three items were "Human Diseases" "Human Rights" and "Good Governance" although one stood out among those to be the topic of most interest, and that was good governance. Government is a very interesting topic that I enjoy discussing, and I could see easily relating to food security. Therefor, good governance became my topic. It states "Reducing corruption by promoting the rule of law, government accountability, demographic principles and transparency." I then began to research countries that were high on the list of political corruption. I took into consideration India and Afghanistan, but the more lists I looked at, the more I saw the name "Sudan". I then decided to research countries with the highest percentage of malnutrition, starvation, etc., the "hungriest" countries on the Earth. Sudan is the fifth "hungriest" country on the planet, as twenty-five percent of Sudan's population is undernourished. Therefor, it became quite obvious that corrupt governance and undernourishment are two issues that are very severe in Sudan, and will become the topic of my research paper. Sudan seemed to be the perfect country to construct this research paper around.
